Collaborative photojournalism in a time of convergence

Abstract

This article addresses the emergence of contemporary collectivephotographic practice linked to photojournalism. As a theoreticalframework, intersections are made with the consolidation of a newimage system, recovering the previous history of photography andits interaction with journalism. In this sense, it aims to work initiallywith a set of characteristics and constraints which act together todefine the problem. In addition, it presents a case analysis, theCia. da Foto (Photo Company), and shows how it represents theconsolidation and/or the contradictions of the phenomenon.
